Chapter 1798 Is there a half-copper connection to 'Luoyang Peony Collection'?
At this moment, Li Baoguo, the steward of Jinyang Bookstore, stood respectfully in front of Cheng Sanlang and watched as Cheng Sanlang handed him a manuscript.
I only glanced at the cover, and it was written in large characters "Luoyang Peony Collection".
Li Baoguo couldn't help but look at Cheng Sanlang, the second owner, with some suspicion. Well, the eldest owner is naturally the apple of His Majesty's eye, Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang.
"Second owner, what does this mean? Isn't this the "Luoyang Peony Collection" printed by Zheng's Bookstore?"
Cheng Chubi chuckled and raised his chin towards Li Baoguo. "Don't just look at him from the outside, take a good look at the inside."
Li Baoguo nodded and opened the first page.
He saw that the first thing that appeared in front of him was General Cheng, who was breaking the formation on a prancing horse.
"???" Li Baoguo was completely confused. What the hell is this?
But I saw that the distant view of the picture was the magnificent Luoyang City, and the entire frame of the picture was decorated with peonies.
The image of General Cheng, majestic and majestic, with his horse leaping horizontally, just in time to stab the enemy general under the horse, while a group of enemy troops were escaping in a hurry, seemed so vivid.
"I said Manager Li, what's wrong?" Cheng Chubi saw Li Baoguo's shocked expression and couldn't help but stand up and come closer to take a look.
"Is there a problem?"
"Second owner, this doesn't seem to be "Luoyang Peony Collection", right?"
"This is the hero list of "Luoyang Peony Collection". Didn't you see the small print next to it?"
"???" Li Baoguo's eyes immediately bulged, and then he noticed the big characters next to "Luoyang Peony Collection".
It has four inconspicuous subtitles: A Catalog of Heroes.
But the question is, does this special girl have half a copper coin connection with "Luoyang Peony Collection"?
#####
Cheng Chubi also realized his mistake, stretched out his hand and took it out, just like a magic trick.
He took out a brand new copy of "Luoyang Peony Collection" and handed it to Li Baoguo.
Li Baoguo had just put down the hero catalog, looked at the cover carefully, and instantly felt his eyes darken.
Sure enough, there is a subtitle, but it says Luoyang Peony Collection, and the subtitle next to it is: Deluxe Picture and Text Edition.
Cheng Chubi patted Li Baoguo's shoulder with great satisfaction and poked his finger at the sample book.
"You should read this one first. This is the luxurious picture and text version of "Luoyang Peony Collection". You can read the hero catalog as an extra."
"..." Li Baoguo's mind went into chaos for a moment. Damn it, do you have a more serious sample book here?
He took a deep breath and let it go. He couldn't afford to offend the second boss who was about to become the husband of the big boss.
Li Baoguo could only force out a smile and opened the first page.
Suddenly his eyes lit up. The opening chapter was a poem from the Peony Collection. The author was Yuchi Baoqing. This was arranged in the order of appearance on that day.
The point is not this, but that this poem also has a picture, and the picture is naturally a beautiful peony, which fits the artistic conception of the poem very well.
After turning to the next page, there is the image of Yuchi Baoqing wearing a Confucian shirt, standing majestic on the high railing, overlooking the Peony Pavilion.
Turning another page, there is the majestic image of Yuchi Baoqing wearing a helmet and riding a horse. He also introduced Yuchi Baoqing in detail.
He wrote down everything including how old he was, how many achievements he had made, etc., and he wrote it in great detail.
There is actually a line of introduction that says marital status, followed by the label "married"...
In addition, there is a line of black and bold writing at the bottom: For more details, please see pages 18 to 28 of the Hero Catalog.
This made Li Baoguo couldn't help but copy the heroic catalog from "Luoyang Peony Collection". When he turned to page 18, he saw the majestic and murderous image of General Yuchi.
Then there is an introduction to General Yuchi's brilliant achievements, and also focuses on describing the detailed process of General Yuchi's heroic rescue.
The rich language and wonderful descriptions make it as exciting as watching "The Romance of Cheng Sanlang Jiannan Road".
Still not satisfied, Li Baoguo put down the hero catalog and continued reading.
In short, every poem will be matched with peonies, and the heroes of the Wu family, wearing helmets and armor, are either clapping their hands and singing among the flowers.
Raise a toast to the moon, ride a horse and cross a spear, or do all kinds of showy tricks, and also praise these martial arts disciples ruthlessly.
Li Baoguo looked at this overly eye-catching thing and couldn't help but cautiously put forward his own suggestions.
"...I asked the second boss, will this be too complicated?"
"What's complicated?" Cheng Chubi glared at Li Baoguo unhappily.
"Do you know what this is? This is the heroic deeds and great achievements of the shareholders of Hantang Trading Company and the elders of their families."
"Those Zheng's Bookstores used to print "Luoyang Peony Collection".
Not to mention the family backgrounds of those authors, as well as all the flattering words written by those wild literary critics who don’t know where they came from.”
"But this year's "Luoyang Peony Collection" is probably not even half as thick as the collections published in the past."
"In that case, why can't we add more ingredients?"
Li Baoguo wiped his face and looked at the spitting and eloquent Cheng Sanlang speechlessly.
Huanye Luzi, in this world, when it comes to Luziye, it is still your old Cheng family.
Especially you, Cheng Sanlang, are so wild that no one can compare with you.
"But after all, "Luoyang Peony Tooth Collection" has been printed by the Zheng family for so many years. If we do this, will it..."
Cheng Chubi looked at the cautious Li Baoguo. It was right to be cautious, but there were also points to be scored.
When doing business, you can't always be cautious. Just like now, you have to be reckless.
"Don't worry, you are responsible for printing the book. You will explain it to Mr. Zheng, and Cheng will be responsible for it."
"Don't be too cautious in doing things all the time. Sometimes when you start doing things, you have to be bolder and take bigger steps. Don't be too hesitant to be too cautious."
Cheng Sanlang's words made Li Baoguo feel evil, but he couldn't afford to offend this person.
I could only say weakly that I don't have it. Well, of course it means that I don't have the courage, but it means that I am not an overly cautious person.
#####
"It's just that it will take a lot of effort to print it like this."
"It doesn't matter, just print, just print with confidence and boldness, this luxurious picture and text version, and the heroic catalog.
It is also the same as the print run of "Luoyang Peony Pavilion" that I told you before, which is 100,000 copies."
Li Baoguo nodded silently. His second boss had said everything he needed to say. What else could he say?
